DO YOU DO ANYTHING SPECIAL TO IT? **I am addicted to Kettle Corn by Pop Secret. I can eat probably one whole bag a day. Though I try to limit it to 1 bag every few days.*** 2. WHEN SHOPPING, WHAT IS YOUR WEAKNESS....ITEM...THAN YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE OF? ***Well, I am a pajama person. I love soft PJ's and robes. and Perfume. If I had to pick one, it'd be a bottle of Jessica McClintock perfume!!! That's my fav scent!*** 3. WHAT KIND OF BATH AND SHAMPOO PRODUCTS ARE IN YOUR BATHROOM AT THIS VERY MOMENT? (HAIR CARE ALSO!) **not being home is hard to actuallly tell but with me I have Caress Moonglow bath gel, I also have JP Mitchel hair care products, and I have a bottle of bath and body works shower gel- Magnolia, that my Mom got me before my surgery.*** I love floral scented bath gels ( I don't have a tub so that's hard to deal with bubble bath!**** 4. NAME THREE FOODS THAT YOU CANNOT EAT NOW THAT YOU COULD BEFORE WLS, OR ON THE REVERSE SIDE FOR PRE OPS, WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE UP? ***Brocolli, has to be mushy and it still causes grief. I despise eggs. and I cannot eat much lettuce unless it is soft. Like Boston Bibb.*** 5. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THANKSGIVING DINNER DISH? My own creation. I can't eat much of it now, but I do. It's the 5 cup salad. 1 cup colored marshmallows, 1 cup halved pecans, 1 cup mandarin oranges, 1 cup sour cream and 1 cup coconut. it's like heavon on a plater ....let sit in frige a few hours before serving. YUMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! Enjoy!

1. Yes, so far I've had just plain popcorn but I'm going to branch out soon. 2. Right now, I have to buy pants. I only have 4 pair that fit and those are getting big so I'm always looking when I go to the store. 3. I have been using goats milk soap. The last one I bought is cocoa and the next one I use will be chocolate mint. I love how smooth it makes my skin. 4. Carb Freedom ice cream (I dump on the fat), cheese (I'm now lactose intolerant) and I have to be careful with fruit (I go online and check sugar content because if it has more than 7 grams, I dump). 5. Jellied cranberry sauce which I can't have anymore since it doesn't come in sugar free. i used to make a dessert called cranberry crunch but because of the sugar in the cranberry, I can't have it either.

1. CAN YOU EAT POPCORN AND IF SO, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FLAVOR? DO YOU DO ANYTHING SPECIAL TO IT? I love the Orville Reddenbachers Cheese Flavor. I only eat it maybe once every couple of months. 2. WHEN SHOPPING, WHAT IS YOUR WEAKNESS....ITEM...THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE OF? Clothes - my closet is overflowing! I've always been a shopper! 3. WHAT KIND OF BATH AND SHAMPOO PRODUCTS ARE IN YOUR BATHROOM AT THIS VERY MOMENT? (HAIR CARE ALSO!) Don't know the brand - Apple scent. 4. NAME THREE FOODS THAT YOU CANNOT EAT NOW THAT YOU COULD BEFORE WLS, OR ON THE REVERSE SIDE FOR PRE OPS, WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE UP? Can't eat more that a bite of two of ice cream, or other sweets. I try to stick to just a bite if I am going to treat myself. Other than that - I can pretty much eat anything in moderation. 5. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THANKSGIVING DINNER DISH? Can't think of anything I REALLY crave on Thanksgiving-probably because my MIL always has the EXACT same things EVERY year! It gets boring!!!!!

These are fun Stacey!!! 1. CAN YOU EAT POPCORN AND IF SO, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FLAVOR? DO YOU DO ANYTHING SPECIAL TO IT? ***Love kettle corn too, but don't eat popcorn in general very often because it gets stuck in my teeth and drives me crazy! 2. WHEN SHOPPING, WHAT IS YOUR WEAKNESS....ITEM...THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE OF? ***Mmmm....love shoes, if I find the right ones. I also love buying for other people!!! Like my kids, hubby, etc. 3. WHAT KIND OF BATH AND SHAMPOO PRODUCTS ARE IN YOUR BATHROOM AT THIS VERY MOMENT? (HAIR CARE ALSO!) ***We have a variety...I like to switch it up, but I have Caress Exotic bath gel (it's heavenly!!! Gotta try it people!), and any kind of shampoo that thickens! My hair is so fine! Right now it's Herbal Essence. 4. NAME THREE FOODS THAT YOU CANNOT EAT NOW THAT YOU COULD BEFORE WLS, OR ON THE REVERSE SIDE FOR PRE OPS, WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE UP? ***Well, raw cauliflower or broccilli causes big-time gas....painful, and noxious!!!! 5. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THANKSGIVING DINNER DISH? ***Stuffing has always been my fav, but limit myself now. A traditional dish is pretzel jello, made with cream cheese, jello, pretzel bottom...Kids do not let me get away without making it, but I can only take about a bite, although you could make it WLS friendly, but they like it "straight".
